  • Bachelor’s degree required
  • Illinois-based preferred (but not required!)
  • Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with ability to present, persuade and communicate effectively
  • Experience in crafting creative experiences for discerning clientele
  • Ability to present, persuade and communicate effectively
  • Team player, able to work collaboratively and within groups
  • Strong work ethic; someone who identifies opportunities to take on more and is not bothered working after hours when the need arises
  • Proactive and resourceful; an intuitive problem-solver
  • Detail-oriented and excellent time-management and organizational skills with ability to handle multiple projects and tasks simultaneously
  • Quick-learning, and able to work in a fast-paced environment
